Visas
Travelers are required to have onward ticket to enter Thailand. Citizens of most nations can get a 30-day visa upon arrival. Two-week extensions can be obtained by going to the Immigration Department, located near the Silom business district (507 Suan Plu Road; Tel: 0-2287-3101-10 # 2264-5) with a photocopy of your passport (every page), two photographs, and the extension fee of 500 baht.
On behalf of Informa Markets Jewellery, we would like to thank all of our industry partners who have been exceptionally supportive of Jewellery & Gem ASEAN Bangkok (JGAB), one of the most significant and highly anticipated international B2B sourcing events in the trade show calendar. The launch of this new important marketplace in the incredible, colourful and welcoming city of Bangkok has been met with genuine excitement by industry stakeholders who have been very vocal about the need for us to get back together in person.
Following multiple consultations with exhibitors and event partners, we believe that we could best provide the sourcing experience that our community deserves and expects from us by rescheduling JGAB’s inaugural edition from 2 – 5 November 2022 to 26 – 29 April 2023. Serving as a spectacular backdrop to JGAB is the completely rebuilt Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), a world-class venue located right in the heart of Bangkok. We are delighted to report that the decision to shift JGAB’s show dates has been enthusiastically received by partners who have been pitching for a face-to-face show in the first half of 2023 in Bangkok – a city that is truly open to everyone.
As you well know, visitors may enjoy quarantine-free travel in Thailand, which makes JGAB even more accessible to international participants. From 1 July 2022, the only requirements for entry are:
1.) A valid passport or a border pass for arrivals via border checkpoints
2.) A COVID-19 vaccination certificate OR a negative RT-PCR/Professional ATK COVID-19 test result issued within 72 hours before departure.
*Medical insurance and a Thailand Pass are NOT required.
As preparations for JGAB 2023 goes into full swing, we encourage you to explore your air travel options and make your hotel reservations as soon as possible. Remember, it’s never too early to start preparing!
If you are serious about energising your business, forging new long-term partnerships and building your ASEAN+ network, join us at JGAB 2023.
See you in Bangkok next year!
